Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Ah~ no~" Qian Shui subconsciously hid Qian Renxue behind her back, but someone that big couldn't be hidden.

"Xiao Qian, won't you introduce her to me?" Feng Jingyi had met Qian Renxue before, but Qian Renxue was a mysterious figure who was rarely seen, and she hadn't met her yet.

"Uh..." Qian Shui was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, and due to nervousness, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"My name is Qian Renxue! I am... I am his older sister!" Qian Renxue stepped forward and introduced herself.

'Sister, is it time to discuss size?'

"Oh~ That's it~"

"That's right, I'm here to invite Qianshui home for dinner!"

"Oh~ I see~"

"Sister Feng~ Look, she's not a bad person. School's almost over, so let's go!" Qian Shui took the initiative to act cute and prepared to take Qian Renxue away, so that if word got out, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it would be very troublesome.

"Hmm~ Okay, you go home and have dinner first~"

Feng Jingyi didn't press the matter further and let them go.

"Why did you suddenly show up here? If you wanted to come, just enroll!"

"Mind your own business! But you can marry this older sister if you want! She's a bit older, but at least you don't have to wait 16 years, which is good!"

"What do you know? Why don't you just say I'm the Condor Hero, and that everyone who meets Yang Guo is doomed for life?..."

The two whispered among themselves and quickly ran away.

"Who is that girl, Xiaofeng?"

"They say she's Qian Shui's older sister~"

"It doesn't seem like it either?"

"Right? Their hair colors are clearly different!"

"Xiao Shui said he's an orphan, could he be from an orphanage?"

"No way! Look at their clothes and appearance; it's obvious that children from an orphanage can't afford that! And they even have the same style!"

"Huh? So Xiao Shui isn't from an orphanage, so he's actually from a rich family?"

"possible!"

"That girl? Could she be Xiao Shui's mistress?"

"Possibly!!!"

Feng Jingyi and Chen Sha brainstormed together about who Qian Renxue really was, but in the end, they came to no conclusion.

"But what does 'meeting Yang Guo once and your life is ruined' mean?"

There are always some strange and incomprehensible things around Qianshui.

……

But the two little ones didn't care, and soon they arrived at the Papal Palace.

The main character of this birthday party was clearly not Qian Shui, but quite a few eyes were cast his way, while he only cared about eating and drinking.

'Ugh, it's still just as awful!' Luckily, there's a good variety, so there's always something to eat.

It was getting late, and Qian Shui was chatting with the Dean. Qian Daoliu only showed up briefly before leaving, and the Dean looked somewhat forlorn.

And the music competition that Qian Renxue had agreed upon was about to begin.

Qian Renxue took the lead and confidently glanced at Qian Shui.

While Qian Renxue is undoubtedly a genius, one in a million, her musical talent is undeniable; at least her technique and melody are impeccable. It's a pity the music wasn't well-matched; the music in Douluo Continent is just so-so.

Next up was Qian Shui. To be honest, he had secretly practiced, but he could only be considered proficient. He could be said to have squeezed out the original song from memory. Fortunately, his mental and spiritual power were very strong now, otherwise he wouldn't even have been able to recall it.

"Esteemed seniors, the piece I'm about to play is called 'The Sky'!"

This was one of Qian Shui's favorite pieces back then, and it was a carefully selected piece.

Chapter 39 Outside Wuhun City

"I lost!"

The two little ones quickly ran out of the Papal Palace, showing no intention of staying any longer.

Inside were all high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall. This banquet was less of a child's birthday party and more of a social gathering for adults.

Looking at the bright night sky, Qian Renxue generously admitted defeat. Whether judging from the audience's reaction or her own assessment, she had lost.

"Xiao Shui, you are so smart! In such a short time, you have created a piece of music that will be sung for thousands of years! All the ones I practiced can't even compare to one!"

"Indeed, that's the weight of an entire brilliant civilization! Of course, it's not that simple!"

Qian Shui was somewhat proud, but not for himself; he was proud of everything he had inherited.

"Here you are, Xiaoshui, for your birthday~"

"This is?"

"Gloves, you can't wield a sword without a gauntlet."

Qianshui really needs a pair of hand protectors. I haven't bought any yet because I think the ones on the market are too bad. They're just for looking good and showing off, so there's no need to buy them.

"Wow, it fits so well! It feels like it can stretch!"

"Yes, this is the work of the master craftsman Lou Gao. It is very thin and light, but also very tough."

"Thank you, Xiaoxue!"

Qian Shui put on gloves, took out the Inquiry, and began to use it.

"Where's my gift?" Qian Renxue spread her right hand.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Actually, no, Qian Shui forgot! She was thinking about the gift that day, but she was only thinking about fooling Ju Douluo!

"Give~"

"What is this?" Qian Shui handed her a page of paper, which was covered with these words. She was speechless the moment she saw the words. "Qian Shui, you just gave me a page of profound wisdom?"

Qianshui has been frantically instilling new ideas into her lately, sometimes in the form of stories, but in general, it's about not forgetting your original aspirations and striving for self-improvement. And now, Qianshui's birthday gift is still a bunch of grand principles, which are even harder to understand!

"I spent several months writing this! You can't just throw it away! Keep it safe, and take it out to look at it if anything happens. Thousand Waters Great Douluo will guarantee your safety!"

Qian Shui had given a perfunctory explanation, but she didn't want Qian Renxue to forget about it just because she didn't like it.

"Alright~ I'll let it go since you put in the effort~" Qian Renxue didn't hold it against her. Given Qian Shui's personality, it would be strange if she had anything good.

"But we can't let this go; we must punish them!"

"Huh? Okay, then you go ahead!"

After all, it was the little girl's birthday, and even though he was thick-skinned, he felt a little guilty.

"I'll punish you by making you sing another song!"

"Sing?"

"What? Is it not okay? You sang perfectly well, didn't you?"

"Uh...so-so...but don't sing here." It's impossible for him to howl in the Papal Palace. He had played the piece with great care beforehand, and there was no need to sing. Yet this is being made to look like a performance.

"Indeed, the papal palace will attract attention again, hehe~ You'll be embarrassed then~ So, how about going home?"

"No way! There's still the Elders' Hall, isn't there? Let's go outside the city, I'll take you to do something exciting, something else good!"

"Shy, afraid of embarrassing yourself~ But okay, let's see what you can come up with~"

Qian Renxue doesn't like running, after all, she can fly! It's just that Qian Shui loves this sport. He was originally trying to get Qian Renxue to run, but she directly used her martial spirit to possess him.

"Let's go! Let's fly high!"

"Hey! Hey! Xiaoxue, don't be like that! Let's talk this out! Hey! Watch out for the roof!"

Qian Renxue, holding Qian Shui in one hand, traversed the entire Spirit City. She didn't fly fast; at least, she couldn't compare to Bibi Dong.

As Qian Renxue climbed up the walls of Wuhun City and then swooped down, they finally left the city.

"My dear mother! Xiaoxue! Do you know how your mother treated me those times!"

Just like you!

Qian Shui hadn't even landed properly before she started complaining, and in the end, she plopped down on the ground.

"What does her behavior have to do with me?"

"I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into you two!"

"Hmph, that's her!" "Speak up, what do you want?"

"Ugh, don't you think the food at the Papal Palace is just as awful as what we usually eat?" With that, Qian Shui led Qian Renxue further out of the city.

"No, it's delicious~ Xiaoshui, you're not a picky eater, why would you think that?"

"That was before—I had no choice! Ever since I went to the Star Dou Great Forest and studied cooking on my own, I haven't been able to eat anything since I returned to Wuhun City!"

"Oh? So you can cook? I've never seen you cook before."

"What do you know! The place we live in is right next to the Elder Hall! If I make a move, what if the Grand Elder and the others come? Would I even be able to live? I'd be cooking for those dozen or twenty elders every day!"

"Grandpa and the others are Title Douluo-level powerhouses, how could they do this! Do you think they're all as willful as you?"

"Why wouldn't I? Even the Light Feather Douluo used me as a target! Besides, how am I being willful!"

"Who ran off to the Kingdom of Silves because they didn't want to go to school?"

"I did it for cultivation, okay!"

Who knows?

As they talked, the two arrived at a mudflat outside Wuhun City. There was a small river in front, a grove of trees behind, and a flat grassland in the middle, making it the perfect place for camping.

“This is it!” Qian Shui pointed to the open space.

"Here? This place is quite ordinary."

"Hmph~ Little Xue, Martial Soul Possession! Release Soul Power!" Qian Shui commanded Qian Renxue.

"Why? You brought me all this way just to fight here?" Qian Renxue was completely baffled. Did fighting spirits require traveling this far?
